Back to the topic at hand. I think it's a shame that we have this divide. For one thing there are different things being argued on this Forum, but the labels being given aren't capable of describing all the differing opinions. That's the problem with labels. STill I think that there are those who are solidly negative and have almost no reasonable objectiveness to their posting. It's all bad all the time and no recognition of the positive.

For example, This year we came in with the PRIMARY goals of fixing the damage done last year, establishing team unity, an identity, confidence, style of play and chemistry. We had no base to build off of last year and so a slow start was expected. The number of wins and making the playoffs was SECONDARY to those goals, because we were dealing with a team that had a disasterous season and a lot of damage done to the confidence of these players. We failed to reach the goals for wins and playoffs, but we did reach the primary goals for this season. Next year we'll have a new set of goals. If you're a fan of a developing team these kinds of STEPS are necessary and should be expected, but to me the guys that I often refer to as "haters" don't want to recognize any of this. They base everything on wins and playoffs. For the stage that we're at that's not the only thing that matters.

NO ONE is ignoring the flaws of this team. No one loves everything that has happened, since clearly there have been mistakes made with personnel and who could love some of these players that aren't performing or don't fit? It's a given that we would need to make improvements in the roster and to continue to develop our players. The thing is that if you don't have the patience to see that happen then you don't have a clue to how these things go. You want to make steady improvements and very few teams are able to fix everything in one season. To me it's a question of reasonable expectations.

Curry's next level of improvement will come with the things we've been mentioning all year, better D, Reb and Passing. I agree that if he can lose weight that will only help him to be able to do more on the floor. I was glad to hear him mention his diet, cuz I have a feeling that his current diet is HORRIBLE. I don't care how much you move around, if you're gonna eat a diet that is full of fatty foods and loads of Carbs, then you aren't gonna lose any fat.

Tyson Chandler averages 12 rebounds per game because nobody is guarding him in the post so he can get to the rim at will !!!

Just out of curiousity

Where is this team's confidence?
What is this team's style of play?
What is this team's identity?

If all of you guys would think about it for a moment, Curry averages 7 rebounds because he is double and triple teamed in the post, so if you already have a guy behind you, one infront of you and one flashing on eihter side of you, its not that easy to get to the rim for rebounds without going over the back !!!!!

Ok, explain his pathetic defensive rebounding.
